Different paths will have different amounts of bandwidth and latency, especially at different times when some parts of the network are heavily loaded.
In certain cases (ie: transatlantic cables), there is only one quick path between US and Europe. If that cable is heavily loaded, then your bandwidth when talking to a European server will be slower.
